Guest wetzelskid Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I have a 1998 VFR. So, I ordered myself a Power Commander III USB from Ebay (free shipping, it was a good price) from a store called Knee4Speed. They shipped fast, but they shipped me a PCIII for a 2002-2005 VTEC. When I emailed them to tell them they sent the wrong one, the response I got was "Sorry for the confusion- many PCIII models work with many different bikes. You have the right model." Alright, looking at photos and looking at my bike, I see that the hookups for the PCIII are pretty wide on the 98-00 (like 2.5-3 inches wide ish) and the 02-05 VTEC uses skinnier ones (1.5 inches... ish). I don't want to open the package so they can tell me they have to charge me because I opened it, but I want the right part. Do I have the wrong part for real, like I think I do? I want to call these guys out on it after that email response. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsujanto Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 It uses different connectors. Obviously it's not plug and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftTech Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 from looking at the install instructions for both the 98 and the 02+ power comanders it appears they use the same connector. The one you have should work, you will just have to use a different map in it. http://www.powercommander.com/downloads/10.../eng101-411.pdf http://www.powercommander.com/downloads/11.../eng111-411.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
